[Athen] Proloquo

[Nettie Fischer]

Hi Brenda,

Keyguards are available for the iPad at a fairly reasonable price; some
pre-designed layouts for apps.   THis would support minimizing accidental
'hits'    I need to locate the name of the company in my files but I bet if
you did a 'iPad keyguard" search you will find it.
